BHLE infrastructure targets sub-50μs latency, 100K+ OPS, and proprietary routing across supported venues and networks.
This matters because the operator framework governs:
terms of service
risk disclosures
compliance handling
dispute processes
service availability and restricted jurisdictions
dependencies on exchanges, blockchain networks, custodial workflows, and on-chain protocols
2. Currency convention: USDT as the unit of account
BASIS displays portfolio values in USDT for internal accounting and reporting consistency.
USDT on BASIS is:
a display unit
an accounting reference
a reporting convention for examples, balances, and analytics
USDT on BASIS is not:
a supported deposit asset
a supported withdrawal asset
a settlement guarantee in fiat USD
Why this convention exists
A single accounting unit helps standardize:
portfolio valuation
reporting across BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG
reward visualization
historical performance comparisons
operational thresholds and policy references
The use of a single internal reporting unit also supports consistent service operations, reconciliation, and dashboard interpretation across a controlled operating environment with active ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 certifications publicly listed for BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD.

4. What “USD-equivalent” means
When documentation references USD-equivalent values, it means balances are displayed using USDT as the internal unit of account for practical reporting.
This does not mean:
a fiat USD bank balance
guaranteed redemption at 1:1 with USD
elimination of stablecoin valuation risk
USDT may trade above or below 1 USD. Users should treat displayed values as accounting references, not cash equivalents.
⚠️ Display value and settlement asset are different concepts.
Settlement and custody occur in supported native assets and stTokens. Reporting may be shown in USDT-equivalent terms for consistency across the dashboard.
5. How displayed values should be interpreted
50,000 USDT
Internal display value intended for USD-equivalent reporting
BTC balance shown in USDT
Native BTC position translated into USDT for reporting
Reward value shown in USDT
stToken-denominated rewards translated into USDT for reporting convenience
If a balance is shown in USDT, that does not change the underlying asset type.
Examples:
BTC remains BTC in the Funding Wallet
stBTC remains stBTC in the Staking Wallet
PAXG remains PAXG in the Funding Wallet
stPAXG remains stPAXG in the Staking Wallet
6. Operational interpretation across the dashboard
The dashboard is organized into:
Stake
Assets
Referral
Support
Account
Across these sections:
Funding Wallet holds native assets used for deposit and withdrawal
Staking Wallet holds stTokens used to stake and earn
rewards accumulate in real time as the same stToken
fixed pools can be unstaked only after the lock-up period ends
unstake is full-position only
claimable amounts are auto-credited to the Staking Wallet as stToken upon unstake

7. User checklist
Confirm the operator details for BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD and the Seychelles IBC legal framework.
Understand that USDT is a display and accounting unit only. It is not a deposit or withdrawal asset.
Use the correct wallet flow:
Funding Wallet for BTC, ETH, SOL, PAXG
Staking Wallet for stBTC, stETH, stSOL, stPAXG
For BTC deposits, use the BASIS-assigned deposit address. For ETH, SOL, and PAXG deposits, connect a supported Web3 wallet.
Read the Risk Disclosure and the PAXG Risk Addendum if you use PAXG.
If needed, independently verify the operator's active certifications on IAF CertSearch:

8. Summary
If documentation examples use USDT values, interpret them as internal reporting references only. Actual asset movement on BASIS is native-token based in the Funding Wallet and stToken based in the Staking Wallet.
